A new cultivar comes with a **contract** as the production of new varieties is no longer organised by a state run facility but by companies. These companies only sell large scale production, so from at least a hectare up-wards. The farmer signs a contract in which he promises not to multiply or sell any trees or parts of them to third parties. He is also bound to pick the fruit at a date specified by the company, to sell the fruit only at the auction and he cannot store it at his own facilities. So the farmer is reduced to growing and cannot expand his activities beyond that. Some large farmers have direct connections with **supermarkets**. They are asked to increase their produce as specified by the supermarket. In this process the farmer becomes completely dependant upon the supermarket which then starts to drop the price.
